Our Mission

We support and develop entrepreneurs and small businesses in Apex, by providing access to business development services, business loans, mentoring, and networking opportunities.

What is LaunchAPEX?

Started by a small group of business owners and community leaders, LaunchAPEX strives to develop successful entrepreneurs who have limited access to business training and networking opportunities. This program is dedicated to assisting current Apex residents who want to take their business to the next level or have a strong business idea.

Our program is modeled after LaunchDETROIT, a successful community building program created in 2013 by Rotary leaders in Detroit.

An Apex Initiative

Our network of local partners in Apex provide a broad network of support and resources for our entrepreneurs.

Apex Rotary Club

The application period opens May 2021. Please check back.

For more information on the Fall 2021 LaunchAPEX program, please contact Colleen Merays at colleen.merays@apexnc.org.
